Sour Grapes For Corby Tories
Potential Candidate Not Posh Enough
Talking of Corby, Guido is picking up growing disquiet among local Tories – and not just because they are expecting a kicking in November. Corby Conservative council leader David Sims went rogue last week, slamming both Louise Mensch and the Tory campaign in his constituency:
“I will give her my full support but it’s going to be difficult. We can expect a protest against Louise, as we have to admit that she wasn’t seen as a great MP. There will also be a protest against the Government and, while the other parties have been campaigning, we have been twiddling our thumbs.”
It turns out Sims has more than enough reason to be angry. Guido hears that he was specifically asked to put himself forward for the prospective candidate shortlist by CCHQ as someone who was in-touch, well-respected and local, only for party bigwigs to tell him in no uncertain terms that he was no longer welcome. A source on the ground whispers to Guido that Sims was told that the Tory hierarchy wanted someone who could ‘identify with the Tory faithful from East Northamptonshire’. In other words the former bin-man was not posh enough…
Seems odd down in Corby.
not enough taxes?
um, am i aloud to be on here
Shouldn’t that be ‘allowed’?
How charming…

Bin men, or refuse engineers as my rent boy calls them, just aren’t butch enough for the modern, diverse Conservative party. End of.

“Call me butch”.
Sounds a load of old bollocks to me.
The Tories have already given up on Corby.
Why should a Conservative voter vote for some stranger parachuted in by Tory high command?
There only sensible option is to vote UKIP who like Delingpole are agin wind farm subsidies.
Try learning the difference between ‘there’ and ‘their’.
To be fair, that seems like the kind of error that a binman would make, so I would say it should be aloud.
Did you see what I did there? Did you, did you?
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but have the Cons decided they are not going to win, but they are parachuting one of their chosen ones in to the by-election to see how they frame themselves and then parchute them into some safe seat constituency, then behold, another of their number is elected. This happened with Willy Hague, he stood in an election in the constituency where I live, not a snowflake in hell chance of getting in rock solid Liebore, the next election he stood in he won, parachuted into his present seat.
We had the same in Skipton & Ripon in one terrible Julian Smith. He had not stood for the Party before anywhere and was parachuted in from London…absolute disgrace.
Get a life. Voting ukip is the first stage of madness
I;m afraid we need someone who behaves like they were bought up at Eton not eaten and bought up
What What!!!!!!!!!!
See 76 above
Not to worry, the Tories have James Delingpole now, don’t they?
Deller’s was going to bat for crash test dummy Farage and the kippered pygmies, until reality trumping fantasy poked through the fog in his brain and pressed the alarm button…
Cameroons like you can carry on mocking.
We in UKIP will deny your socialist democrat pro EU posh boy Cameron the next GE.
So Tory boy go back to your keyboard & prepare for 20 years of Tory wilderness years.
Enjoy!
He’s pining for the return of Tory stalwart Ed Heath.
AC he has a very long wait then
The Tories at least Dave’s Tories must be desperate if they are reduced to name calling.
Face reality. UKIP is now the only option for a Conservative.
This reshuffle us utter rubbish, the Tories have blown any chance of getting re-elected after the blatant lie of the CAST IRON GAURENTEE for a referendum. As someone in my sixties I do not expect to see another Tory government in my lifetime. They will be in opposition for decades The UKIP vote will torpedo every Tory seat with a majority of 5000 or less and any Tory MP who holds such a seat should start to plan a new career outside of politics.
Only a fantasist could believe in a Tory recovery outside of an immediate legally binding in/out referendum on EU membership. All this waffle about reclaiming powers after the next election is exactly that WAFFLE.
Any changes would require the other 26 members to agree to them so forget it
Plus we all know that the Tory party are 100% Europhiles. Conservatism is now totally finished and has lost both the trust and support of its core vote. Us real Conservatives have had enough of being ignored UKIP for me and as many as I can persuade likewise
People don’t actually care about the EU, Anonymous. They just want jobs and housing. I realise this comes as a shock.

Well if we didn’t spend £50 000 000 a day on EU membership we could afford to put every unemployed youngster and adult in a job or training. £50 000 000 would build a new Hospial or several Schools and we waste that amount every day on an organisation that dictates 60% of our laws
Think about this we have around 2.5 Million unemployed living on a pittance so just think how that £50 000 000 stacks up its the equivilant of around £20 per day for every unemployed person in GB, job seekers allowance is around £50 a week
So if you like living on a pittance just keep voting LIBLABCON
Have you been to Corby – bars on the chippy windows and you don’t leave your car or it will be on bricks. Having said that the countryside round Corby is very posh!! A game of two halves.
just looked up Corby on wikipedia. It is fulll of unemployable thick Scots apparently. More catholic schools than cofe. a shithole deserving of a shit mp.
Also from Wiki,
“According to the 2001 Census the proportion of the working age population with degree-level qualifications (8.5%) is the lowest of all areas in England and Wales. 39.3% have no GCSE-equivalent qualifications at all. The borough of Corby has the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in the East Midlands”
Not only full of Jockistani’s, thick as pig shit to boot. Corby town, Labour ‘core voter’ stronghold natch.
They have cars now do they?
If Britain required a Enama Corby would be where they sticl the tube
Do they still make trouser presses in Corby ??
Even I wouldn’t wear a tie like that. not even as a joke.
I would
I have got a really great tie here. Someone gave it me for a laugh, because its so dreadful. A design rejected for use on 1970′s carpets.
Shall I post it to you?
The Tories deserve all they are not going to get in Corby, or elsewhere.
Just not sure the country deserves what it is going to end up with instead.
Sims gone rogue?
After slamming a stunner like Louise, his photos here seem to suggest he has gone rouge.
Never bothered meself. First things first in my day!
Rouge…it’s probably the booze!
You obviously have to be at ‘least’ a miner nowadays.
Ah but when it was mentioned that new Transport Secretrary, Patrick Loughlin, was a miner it was universally accepted within Tory ranks that he must have been the junior brother at some public school.
Quite. Handycock is still hoping for a minor.
Not posh enough? For Corby? You do talk some shite Guido. An arriviste like Mensch suited the habitat perfectly. On the street, Rottweilers walk about in pairs for mutual defence.
You mean the place
is a bit butch?
I could take Corby wiv one hand tied ahind me back!
I doubt it unless you fancy your head being found under a bush in a plastic bag,or the infamous Samuri sword attack,or knock knock who’s there ,why the bloke who just embedded a hatchet in your head.
How about this one, drug dealer opens door, rival drug dealer chucks a bucket of petrol over the bloke and sets him alight.
All these stories are not stories they are true.
Corby is the last place you want to go looking for trouble believe me.
There’s a huge Scots ex-pat community in Corby from its old steel days. Its hardly surprising that the Tories would struggle there.
They struggle to get down the street in one piece.
highest teen pregnancy rate in Europe.
deep fried mars bar anyone?
Now that the steel jobs have gone, it’s time for them to go back homeward tae think again. Actually most of them are second- or third generation descendants of Scots, rather than being real Scots, but they can still piss off.
Who is standing for the SNP in Corby?
Upwardly mobile not welcome in Dave’s party. That does seem to be a pattern.
Dave and Ed both run different brands of the rent-seeker party.
Not to worry we may soon have that upper class toff Boris in charge of the shambles.
I had a little flush of excitement just then, until I read the word ‘seeker’.
All together now 1-2-3
My old man’s a dustman, he wears a dustman’s hat,he wears gor blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat !”
Need to modernise
Delete as appropriate
My retired / pensionable age father and/or non specific gender-partner of mother/foster parent/step mother/cooperative/council care.
Is a recycling and securitising operative and stakeholder
He wears various non standard items of uniform that are not safety approved nor in appropriate corporate colours.
And he domiciles in an affordable,social housing, housing association provided dwelling for low income families.
Well to be honest the tories of rural east northamptonshire would vote for anyone wearing a blue rosette.
I’d have thought he’d have been good for them as he might have managed to impress some of the corby labor voters as well with his background. Appe@ling to both sides so to spe@k.
But as you say they’re going to get a kicking.
Probably in more ways than one, given their reception at the Paralympics.
Gideon could not stop smirking
Each of the main parties has areas where they know the locals would vote for a bucket of horse manure, providing the bucket has that particular party’s rosette.
As a resident – we were desperately hoping for someone who could play a reasoanble game of cricket…..ah well, next time?
Has Mongo emigrated yet. Her last act will be to claim on expenses a fleet of taxi’s to Heathrow.
Why don’t you stand at Corby Guido.
…oh sorry you can’t can you…foreign nationals are not allowed to be MP’s
Pissed Pukkah Paddy Party?
Moose old cock, I have suggested to Guido several times that he stand for the Cons in Corby, Guido was born in England, you are confusing him with Freddy Mercury, I think Guido is turning to the Ukippers
The last thing CCHQ need is someone who is ‘in touch’ ‘well respected’ and ‘local’. Just look at some of the new appointments to the Cabinet. Need to be anonymous, with no backbone with a doggy back ground to fit in with this leader’s criteria!! I ask you!!!
a doggy background? like cesar milan?
As Fido most definitely has a spine, I suspect you were searching for the word “dodgy” rather than “doggy”. Woof woof.
Would you please leave corrections to Caroline Spelwoman as a recent redundancy means she is short of other activities to fill her time?
Perhaps she could start with Moussa’s use of the greengrocer’s apostrophe.
That depends where they get their pleasure?
So I’m informed, eh Mr Osbourne?
Oh dashed well come ornnnn! One must uphold standards! And we don’t want common people littering the place now do we? What?
He reminds me of the type of candidate who stands for a Glasgow seat. They should have selected him. The electors of Corby would probably have thought he was Labour anyway.
But homie ain’t nothing change hold down, G’s up
My flow, my show brought me the dough
That bought me all my fancy things
My crib, my cars, my pools, my jewels
Look, *****, I came up and I ain’t changed
Seems quite simple to me. There are just under 80,000 voters in the constituency. Half are male. Take off a third of that for kids. That makes 24,000. A pint of beer is £2.09 there. Make a promise that every male registered voter will have a free pint behind the bar each week for the next year if a Tory is selected. Cost just £3.6m. Double it if you are concerned about equal rights for wimmin – but most of them are Scotch FFS. *Calling Lord Ashcroft*
£2.90. But can supply for your figures.
The trouble with that apart from it being electoral bribery (a matter of little consequence these days I know), the buggers would renege on the deal, we have all come across that sort down the Pub, the ones that always make some excuse and leave when it is their turn to get a round-in.
No Tory win – no beer!
Bribery? Surely not…
Peaches Geldof looking very tidy these days, On a scale of 1 to 10 I’d give her one!

Pity about the tatoos though!
I wouldn’t touch her with yours.
Dave’s A listers turned into Dave Listers, not able to win against Red’s Dwarfs.
Rotten candidate selection based on choosing from a narrow clique of privately educated Oxbridge types not a way to win.
The Tories are fast running out of feet to shoot themselves in
Would anyone like to see my penis?
OK I’ll get the bacon sarnies
They never have made trouser presses in Corby, LM was about as good as her predecessor.
If I were UKIP now’s the time to get out there really banging the drum!
Ukip. Banging the drum about what? There a joke.
What would Gordon Brown have done?… announced £4 billion for a new steel works to make rivets for aircraft carriers.
oh anette
that really is beneath you .
you ll turn into a curton at this rate
This is embarrassing. He’s the Council Leader? I feel guilty about getting him to sweep up the village hall now.
